Small Act. Big Influence
Start From May 2010, please bring your own eating ware for the Lunch Service on Weekends
$6.00 for those without their own eating ware, $5.00 for those who bring their own.
A simple thing you can do to help Mother Earth is to bring your own eating ware, such as spoon, fork, chopsticks, plate, cup, or bowl for our vegetarian lunch service on weekends. For years, we waste lots of nature resource and create pollution by serving food with one-time use plate, bowl, cup, fork, spoon, and chopstick. We are hoping to raise attention of this important issue. From May 2010, lunch service fee will be $6.00, but only $5.00 if you bring your own eating ware. Let us work together to create a better world.
